Thousands of nurses, physicians, and community leaders scrawled their names on the 31-foot steel beam that dropped into place today, completing the scaffolding of Saint Louis University's new hospital. They signed, but the commitment was made by SSM Health on the day SLU entered its system: September 1, 2015. The new hospital, with its patient-centered design and ample room for expansion, is part of SSM's five-year plan--and is scheduled for completion exactly on time, in September 2020.
